Overview
Field experiences are assigned in pedagogical and professional education courses. While participating in field experiences, candidates progress from working with small groups of students in schools to partially participating in classrooms to performing assigned tasks for teachers to eventually assuming some teaching responsibilities. Field experiences occur in a variety of settings to provide opportunity for candidates to relate to the cultural contexts of rural, small town, and urban settings.

These field experiences also bring candidates into contact with diverse populations and educational situations encountered by practitioners. Candidates at Greenville will participate in field and clinical experiences that include:

1. Urban and rural settings
2. Regular and special education populations, and
3. A range of cultures
